The Window Garden.

In regard to the many enemies
which attack plants when indoors,
ian ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure" We may prevent
their coming, but after they have
once put in an appearance it is rath-
err difficult matter to get rid of
them. One very tormenting pest is
little black fly which multiplies
very rapidly, and does a good deal
of injury, if not cut short in his ca
reer. I find giving a teaspoouful
Of SCOT, or fine wood ashes, to the
soil very beneficial, andlexcellent in
fertilizing. I always apply it as
soon as l bring plants in. Plants IL
able to aphis must be closely watch
ed, and, as a prevention washed in
tobacco tea. I effectually killed and
exterminated them utterly from some
small Chrysanthemums by washing
in a suds of whale oil soap, not too
strong. I wash Verbenas in weak
tobacco tea, and sprinkle little fine
cut tobacco on the soil in the pot.
Plenty of moisture is death to the
red spider; good steam bath once
in two weeks damps his ardor and
makes him lose his strong hold. If
the soil is rich enough I do not see
the need of much fertilizing in the
pot, except with some plants. &c.
raniums are really better without it.
I occasionally use amonia, as it i'm
parts beautiful green to the foliage.
Keep all decayed leaves we'll picked
off, as we'll as faded blossoms; this
should be done for the we'll being of
the plant as we'll as for the tidiness
of the window. 1 always keep plants
that are Inclined to grow "upward'
we'll pinched off and shapely; any
thing but great, tall, one branched
Geranium, one can just as well have
a symmetrical bush Of it, if taken in
time. | give my plants thorough
sprinkling at least once week, and
ajudicious airing every day, if pos
sible, letting an outer door stand
open for a while when the weather is
not too cold. and increasing the
heat within, if necessary hoe
my pot plants frequently. the soil
on top of the pot is inclined to hard
en-, no matter how one may try TO
prevent it by different mixtures of
sand, &c. BY loosening it, the water
penetrates and reaches the tender
rootlets; sharp pointed stick is a
good instrument for the purpose.
Careful study Of the wants and re-
quirements of each plant is the only
way to become successful cultiva-
tor, and this is only secured by at
tending closely to their many needs.

Lustre Painting.

There are several methods tor do
ing the work. Many mix the light
bronzes with medium composed of
six parts white balsam to two Of tur-
pentine, while asphaltum varnish is
used for mixing with the darker
bronzes; but | consider the work
much more durable if done in the
following manner: Take tube paints
and mix the desired shades for what
you wish to paint, and lay on the
paint thickly, then take up on the

fresh paint. Continue to do the same
with all the colors until you have
finished your design; then turn the

particles may fall from your work.

Women who suffer from neural gia,
face-ache, and ear-ache should avoid
the exposure of the ears in very cold
weather. No fashion is so foolish or
absurd as that which dictates that this
delicate organ, the ear should 90 en-
tirely unprotected during the rigors Of
the severe winters of our climate. Ev-
en- narrow velvet ribbon used as bon
net strings will be service, if it is ar
ranged as to protect the orifice eft the
ear If ladies are so subservient to
fashion as not to be able to wear strings
so arranged, let them wear veil so
as to cover the ears, or at least put a
bit of cotton wool in each. Only the
young fresh face looks we'll with the
side contours entirely exposed: the
thin and the elderly face, blue, in fact
purple with the cold, is even repulsive
in its exposure of the bony and muscu-
lar construction; such face, improved
by the needed wlrmth of bonnet
strings rightly used, and softened by
their color and contact, is even beauti-
fed, to say nothing of the comfort to
the wearer.

The professional bondsman is one of the
evils difficult to overcome that accom-
panies the present system Of ''bailing
out" These bondsmen form a set OF
vampires of the a and lowest class,
who are always ready to go bail for any
and all of the unfortunate women locked
up in the calaboose. 1t makes no differ
ence whether or not they know them;
they take the risk, and usually do SO
safely, as the persons released rarely fail
to appear for trial. The bondsman keeps
a pretty sharp eye on their whereabouts
until they do SO; but he requires some-
thing more. The most e~xorbitant rates
of interest are demanded for the money
loaned. For $25 and $50 deposited but
a few hours at the police station they ex-
tort So, $40 and sometimes even $50 in
payment for their ''disinterested'' SER
vices. Something should be done to break
up the n%efarious business of these sharks.

N rag VI the Glepnhnt.
The elephant has been described by
hunters as having three cries. A quiet
study Of him in his undisturbed home life
shows that his variety of utterance is
very great. A shrill blowing through the
trunk, in some treatises described as a cry
of pleasure, is in Ceylon, at any rate, the
cry Of rage and defiance. Trunk is a
word derived from the French trompe,
and e the trumpet; in old illustra-
tons an elephant may be seen pictured
having the end of his trunk trumpet
shaped. A groan from the throat ex-
presses suffering. A twitter with the lips,
defined by the syllable ''prut, - is the low
word Of alarm which elephants pass from
one to another when anything unusual
appears in the forest.
A night alarm, which hurries them be-
yond this note of caution, excites them to
produce a booming like the sound of an
empty tun struck by a mallet. One OBJ
server believes this noise to be made by
the elephant beating on his side with his
proboscis. Another gentleman states that
he has seen the sound produced by the
animal striking the ground forcibly with
the point of the trunk, which is then
raised and pushed in the direction of the
threatened danger, as If to detect its ma
ture by the sense of smell. When the
sound is heard in the woods, believing
and trumpeting are usually mingled with
it. 1t is remarkable that while an ele-
plant disturbed in the jungle will burst
away with a rush that seems TO bear all
down before him, the noise often sinks
into absolute stiffness, and the animal
steals quietly away, carrying his enor-
nous weight without q sound, almost
without leaving the trace of disturbed
foliage behind. Philadelphia Call.
